Yes, I have had problems like that but most of the other packages
appear to build and load ok although I haven't done many on this
machine yet. I checked the permissions strings and just did
chmod -R 777 * on library directory but no help. In any case,
someone should detect a permission problem and fail rather than
hang. The problem is that an attempt to load, either test load
during the install or a call to library(nlme) hangs forever.

The other link I cited finally sent the problem to the r-developers
list.
